Amy just posted about her feeling of emotional hangover after last week's Barcamp Nonprofits London so I thought it's probably a good time for me too to gather all my thoughts too. Since last week's event there have been a lot of interesting reactions to our event so ...

Last Thursday I attended my first Barcamp event in London. I have been following Barcamp Nonprofits for the past year and missed the chance by one day to attend the previous one (October 2011) – you see the popularity of these events and the nature of free tickets lead to “sold out” events very ...

This week was the third London Barcampnfp. We thought it was awesome and we hope you did too!
Please get sharing; blog links, pics and notes. Here's the live notes folder.
Hope to see a few of you at the next London event, if everything goes to plan it'll be September during Social ...

It's very interesting to see how ideas shape up. Barcamp Nonprofits originally was born out of a need to build a platform for nonprofits and geeks to spend time together and clarify some really basic terms. When I attended the IoF National Convention back in 2010 Steve Bridger and Howard Lake ...

One of the great things about working in the charity sector is how much we share knowledge and success, and how much we support each other.

Ask anyone who’s been part of the barcamp scene for a while what it’s like being at one and what they’ll tell you and talk about is how barcamps are special because of the way they bring people with a passion and purpose together.
Barcamps are, to my mind, the purest form of social ...

Barcamps are a bit different. Instead of listening to experts deliver prepared presentations, attendees set their own agenda on arrival. They run multiple workshops on anything that tickles their fancy.
And they inspire people.
I went to my first one last year. It inspired me to get ...

Just weeks to go until the next Barcamp Non-Profits London. I'm really excited and pleased to have such a strong and varied representation from the tech community. Looking through the attendee list on the tech side I can see we will have people from all sorts of areas and disciplines which is ...

When I started this article I wanted to talk about how a Barcamp changed my life. A bit strong maybe. But I wanted to convey how pivotal it was in what I now do and love, how I do it, and how I got to be doing it.
So I dug out my write up. I was surprised to discover it was the first proper ...
